Thank you.

Hello again! I'm trying to retrieve a report from the server. I have successfully connected to it and logged in using my credential, but I cannot get anything from it.

My report is named "MyReport".

I'm using stiServerConnection.Items.GetByKey("MyReport"), but I this is Exception message I'm getting:
"IsNotCorrect, Arguments: ItemKey"

I tried to get the key of the report using the Share conext menu. It says that the key is "521b1", but using it fails, too.

Could you please tell me how to retrieve a report? The code in the samples seems to be outdated.

My goal is to get a report and save it to PDF.

Big thanks!

Hello,

You can use the developer key from the Tools Tab.
Also, you can use the GetByName method.

Thank you.

It works nicely! Thank you, but now I would like to know how to generate a LOCAL PDF file with the contents of the report. Please, notice that my report uses a parameter (named "P_CDPERSONA").

How do I continue once I get the item? My code is this:

var connection = new StiServerConnection("http://*****:40010/");
connection.Users.Login("***", "***");
var dataItem = connection.Items.GetByKey("3d8fe494ee2d4adf84b57ba06e8e9a34");

Hello,

Please try to use the following code:

Code: Select all

var reportSnapshotItem = connection.Items.Root.NewReportSnapshot("report-snapshot").Save();
var param = new StiReportParameter("ParamName", 99);
var paramList = new List<StiReportParameter>();
paramList.Add(param);
reportTemplateItem.Run(reportSnapshotItem, paramList);

Also, please us the following method

Code: Select all

connection.Accounts.Users.Login("***", "***");

instead

Code: Select all

connection.Users.Login("***", "***");

Thank you.
